I don't suggest doing this ALL the time, only in cases of emergency, but this is what I do.
Find a shot glass or an old candle tin or some sort of small, little cup type thingamajig. Pour just enough Clorox 2 [a bleach alternative and stain remover and color booster. Do NOT use normal bleach, only colour safe bleach!] into it to cover the stained bristles but NOT the ferrule of the brush. Set it in there for about five minutes, and then swirl it around like the agitator of a washing machine for a few minutes. Then do the same thing with water to get all of the soap residue out, and dry the brush with the handle facing upward and the bristles facing down so you won't get anything running into the ferrule and degrading the glue.
